Qatar Optics - Duvel 2021: Story Completed
The Rider
i1346.photobucket.com/albums/p690/TheRider11/bbafsf_zps71fbeb47.jpg


I have been having strange dreams lately, when I say strange I mean real strange. I keep having the same two dreams:

1- One is where I can picture a desert and I constantly hear the words 'embrace the music'.

2- The other tells me to have faith in Samet (maybe meaning Yildiz).

I don't know what they mean, maybe I will find out soon enough!

We are participating in the inaugural 'six days of Portugal' race taking place in Portugal. In order to keep tabs on Farnese Vini we are aiming to win overall here with Izagirre, however it will not be easy with the quality of riders here. Dementyev, Finetto and Locatelli have already won multiple races for Farnese Vini.

STAGE 1: Portimao - PortimaoPfftrologue 12 KM's


Stage Favourites:
***Craddock(DTS)**Le Bon(SAU) *Aramendia(QOS)


Stage 1 is a testing technical prologue with a beautiful backdrop of Portimao, we are hoping Izagirre doesn't loose too much time and for a good TT by Aramendia.


i1346.photobucket.com/albums/p690/TheRider11/PCM0200_zps200ff2e4.jpg


Our nemesis from Belgium, Drucker, sets the first stand out time of the day @ 16:54, 5 seconds faster than C Meyer. Izagirre doesn't have his best day on a TT bike and posts an average time of 17:30.


i1346.photobucket.com/albums/p690/TheRider11/PCM0202_zps9a6fe633.jpg


However, these negative thoughts are soon subsided as we have Aramendia on a good day and he goes fastest @ 16:52. Surely the stage win is in the bag...


i1346.photobucket.com/albums/p690/TheRider11/PCM0205_zpsf5e5cf2b.jpg


but NOOO! The last man off the ramp, Craddock, is in a class of his own and sets a time of 16:37, winning comfortably dethroning Aramendia. Craddock now holds a good advantage in the race, time bonuses means 1'13 over Izagirre, with mountains and hills ahead he may be the best card we have got.

STAGE 2: Albufeira - Villa Santo Antonio 112 KM's


Stage Favourites:
***Ponzi(DTS) **Dehaes(LAR) *Gavazzi(COG)


This was a predominantly flat stage, the one difficulty being the strong winds.


i1346.photobucket.com/albums/p690/TheRider11/PCM0005_zpsf2f2b8bf.jpg


An 11 man break got away, it was difficult work for the escapees the majority of the stage they were riding into a head wind. LA-Antarte and Colnago looked to have the stage under control. With 10 kilometres to go only two men were out front with less than 1:00.


i1346.photobucket.com/albums/p690/TheRider11/PCM0009_zps6c93ef4d.jpg


The peloton seems to be going at a fast enough rate but somehow the two riders, Milan and Parinello (yes another Farnese Vini rider) seem to have excess reserves of energy, they look like they are going to hold off the peloton, almost defying logic.

They do! Parinello wins, I swear there is something fishy about that team, I hope I am wrong. All our rider finish safely. GC remains the same.

STAGE 3: Almodovar - Beja 150 KM's


Stage Favourites:
***Brambilla(COG) **Izagirre(QOS) *Locatelli(FAR)


A stage summarised by many short hills, rolling terrain really. The last 5 kilometres average around 3% favouring a puncheur or a hardened sprinter.


i1346.photobucket.com/albums/p690/TheRider11/PCM0012_zps2c356c7c.jpg


A 13 man break got away today. Dual Temp set the pace mostly for the first half of the stage, as the race took in the beautiful sites of Portugal.


i1346.photobucket.com/albums/p690/TheRider11/PCM0016_zps7b54e1bf.jpg


With 70 kilometres to go, no one seemed willing to chase so we took it up. Al Ghanim then Simon Clarke and Bakelants were doing an excellent ride to bring back the break, they weren't ruffled by attacks out of the bunch by Gasparotto(Bianchi), Santoro (Colnago) or Vandousselaere (Catalunya). Literally no other team was willing to chase, the strange racing tactics went hand in hand with the perplexing Portuguese weather.

Nevertheless the break were caught with 10 kilometres to go, Aramendia drills the peloton along as the road begins to rise for the final few kilometres. With 2.5 kilometres to go Izagirre attacks....Dual Temp come to the front...


i1346.photobucket.com/albums/p690/TheRider11/PCM0019_zpsbb045d52.jpg


but they ain't brining our man back. STAGE WIN FOR QATAR OPTICS. It really would have been an injustice if Izagirre would have failed to convert after the brilliant work from the team. He looked great as he pulled away and gains time thanks to the bonus seconds and '14 seconds gap, a good omen ahead of stage 4, which is the most mountainous in the tour. What a stage!

STAGE 4: Evora - Portalegre 137 KM's


Stage Favourites:
***Locatelli(FAR) **Brambilla(COG) *Izagirre(QOS)


The pivotal point in this stage is the 7 kilometre averaging around 7% Sao Mamede climb which summits 13 kilometres from the finish, a really definitive stage in this tour.


i1346.photobucket.com/albums/p690/TheRider11/PCM0024_zps02c3ebbb.jpg


Early on the race was frantic with many riders trying to form a break, we were active in shutting down some breaks especially when Dementeyev was in them. Dual Temp were willing to chase the 13 man break today, so our riders could relax comparatively. C.S.Long was doing a good job protecting Izagirre, who like yesterday would feel better in the second half of the stage.

With 34 kilometres to go yellow jersey Craddock attacked. 15 kilometres later he was still not caught, the original break had 2:00 as the final climb was reached. We took up the chase, Bakelants was feeling exceptional and looked really strong but he was working for Izagirre today. We bridge across to the yellow jersey.

But out front at the top of the climb Oscar Garcia (Cantabria) is out front and only Piscopiello (Bianchi) has a chance at getting back on terms.

When the peloton summit, Bravo and Locatelli attack, Izagirre can't follow but fortunately for us Bakelants bridges the gap on the descent.

Oscar Garcia wins from the break and moves up to third on GC. Izagirre was the fastest from the remains of the peloton and moves up to second place overall with some more time bonuses added in. With some hilly stages to come the GC is still up in there.

Big invite indeed, well 2 to be precise. The team will race in the cobbles at both E3 and Gent Warelgem later on, a great chance to pick up some CQ points especially after great performances by FDJ at Paris Nice and Farnese Vini at the Tirreno.


@ Sutty - Thanks we really needed it aswell.
@ Baia - Thanks again if you read this, a great tour you have created.
 
baia

STAGE 5: Portalegre - Castelo Branco 216 KM's


Stage Favourites:
***Izagirre(QOS) **Brambilla(COG) *Locatelli(FAR)


This is a real hilly stage with a difficult start and finish. The stage starts with the really difficult 15 kilometere ascent of the Serra de Marvao and ends with the 3 kilometre steep hill up to Castelo Branco, a breakaway or man in form will take the stage.


i1346.photobucket.com/albums/p690/TheRider11/PCM0035_zpsf130cd02.jpg


Although the sites were stunning the terrain was really difficult, riders not in form were suffering like dogs, for our team Long would fall into that category. A five man break did establish including Duque, Pasquelon and Colo.


i1346.photobucket.com/albums/p690/TheRider11/PCM0033_zps85117bd4.jpg


The descent off the first climb must have been a relief to all the riders, gravel roads or not. Dual Temp were taking up the chase defending the leaders jersey although they weren't concerned with the break.


i1346.photobucket.com/albums/p690/TheRider11/PCM0037_zpsee23b34f.jpg


With 102 kilometres to go the break have 10:30 of an advantage. We send Clarke, Aramendia and Zadinskyi to the front. We are not willing to send all our riders to the front so the gap slightly favours the break. Duque collects the majority of mountain points out front and will take that jersey.

With 40 kilometres to go the break have 5:00 plus we send Bakelants and Al Ghanim to the front and Dual Temp add some riders as well, riders constantly are falling off the rear of the peloton.


i1346.photobucket.com/albums/p690/TheRider11/PCM0041_zpsf3c4eac8.jpg


The break is a strong one and will contest the finish. Duque attacked on the lower slopes of the final hill and would hold on strongly for the stage win.

Behind we had Bakelants setting pace but any attempts to destroy the yellow jersey failed, Izagirre came past Ponzi in the closing meters to lead the bunch home but the GC stays the same with one stage left.

STAGE 6: Castelo Branco - Guarda 212 KM's


Stage Favourites:
***Brambilla(COG) **Izagirre(QOS) *Bermudez(IBA)


The last stage of the tour is really hilly with over 3000 meters of climbing with some semi mountain ascents. The final 30 kilometres is really lumpy ending with an uphill finish.

After about 40 kilometres riders escaped in drabs and a nine man break broke free. The break included Minne, David Lopez and Oscar Pujol. Today was the day to go for the KOM jersey, the break fought each other over tough early climbs including the pass at Covilha.

With 125 kilometres to go two real quality riders attacked out of the peloton. They were former Belgian champ Vandousselere and Strade Bianchi winner Finetto, both were around 5 minutes down on GC. Dual Temp continued to set pace.

Finetto and the Belgian have no problem bridging four minutes across to the break, when they do riders instantly can't follow the pace. With 85 kilometres to go we go to the front with the break @ 8:00, but Clarke, Al Ghanim and Zadinskyi can't pull back the break and the break pull out more time.

With 60 kilometres to go LA Antarte add more riders to the front than Dehaes and Dual Temp add number to the chase. The gap to the break starts coming down and the threat of Finetto taking the GC drastically reduces.

We add Bakelants to the chase but no team has the numbers to get back at the break to prevent the stage win. Inside the last 5 kilometres Finetto and the former Belgian champ are clear of the other escapees and Finetto rides away for the stage win on the final steep slopes after a tough stage.

Back in the bunch all riders seem to be suffering, there are a few attacks late on, but not from the favourites. Fragoso just beats Izagirre to lead the bunch home, catching some stragglers.

This inaugural event was a pleasure to be part of although it was hugely demanding with the terrain and mostly the tough temperatures. The stage win for Farnese Vini and Masciarelli's podium at the Tirreno means they now lead over 400 points on CQ. Dual Temp take the GC win here.

Race Favourites:
***Salomein(TSV) **Stannard(GPM) *Neirynck(QOS)


For this race, which takes in multiple laps around Nokere and its cobbled finish, we have one of the stage favourites. But it will be difficult to win with the Prologue Power Salomein and Omloop winner Bol both racing.


i1346.photobucket.com/albums/p690/TheRider11/PCM0069_zps8cafc795.jpg


Us, FDJ and Landbouwkrediet were controlling much of the early racing as a 14 man break went away. The break included mainly non cobble specialists such as Jose Serpa and they never achieved more than 3:30 of an advantage.

FDJ and TSV really took up the chase with 50 kilometres to go, supported by the strong winds, this saw the peloton fracture.


i1346.photobucket.com/albums/p690/TheRider11/PCM0077_zpsf6d4c2bb.jpg


The break were caught and with 12 kilometres to go the real racing started. Bol attacked. Vaitkus tried to go with him but for some reason immediately stopped following, I will need a talk with him! Bol got thirty seconds of an advantage, then Pernet, Lavery and Stannard attack. Three riders are out front with about '10 as we head into the finish.


i1346.photobucket.com/albums/p690/TheRider11/PCM0080_zpsc973a8e7.jpg


Bol showed ridiculous strength and held on for the win, I suppose you could say his attack really opened a CAN OF WORMS! Neirynck looked good in the sprint but went too early and others were able to pass him, Vaitkus's form was a bit worrying, nevertheless a good warm up race for the team before E3 and Gent-Warelgem, which is a great opportunity for the team to get some CQ points as FDJ have now moved into second position in the rankings. Neirynck really needs to get into top form quickly.

There was a bit if a gap between races, so I took the new alpine super railway with my son, Eddie, and team coach Arni Van Heylen. Eddie expressed a big desire to join a cycling team, I said it was unlikely he would get a place on Qatar Optics, with the team looking to be on the World Tour next year. The mountainous sights and vista's were great and a relief from sitting in a car following the races for the last number of weeks. I came out revitalised and ready to motivate the guys big time for the upcoming races.


@ Sutty - Thanks, not many CQ points though, terrain was just a bit too easy for Izagirre to attack.

@ Baia - Thanks...... Smile

Race: Kortrijk - Waregem 199 KM's


Race Favourites:
***Boom(EML) **Lander(EML) *Maes(EML)


ExxonMobil are overwhelming favourites here with last years winner and Flanders winner Boom present as well as Paris Roubaix winner Lander, however, this race is not the biggest renown wise therefore a late break might make the finish.


i1348.photobucket.com/albums/p727/TheRider13/PCM0087_zps1e6f885a.jpg


After many early attacks a 12 man break, with no cobbled specialists, finally broke away with 130 kilometres to go, including our man Kritskiy and Vilegas from ExxonMobil. The rain began to come down and didn't relent. 6 decent cobble riders including Thomel attacked with 112 kilometres to go they would bridge the 4:00 gap on the Kattenberg climb to from an 18 man group with 95 kilometres to go.

The peloton didn't like this and a number of teams started taking up the chase, decimating the field. For us Neirynck was on a real good day and was well protected by Larsson as the 'peloton' became 20 riders. As Gallopin and Breschel were dropped with around 60 kilometres to go the remains of the peloton merged with the break, some riders got back on to the front group. Domestiques who were out-front could push on before the super domestiques took over.


i1348.photobucket.com/albums/p727/TheRider13/PCM0095_zpsf90a2870.jpg


With 36 kilometres to go Cancellara attacks and Neirynck counters, but they slow up and both are quickly caught. Then with 25 kilometres to go Cancellara attacks again with time with Waeytens as his partner in climb, this looked like the move to be in, I banged my head, bad luck for Neirynck for missing this one as ExxonMobil look around. They quickly pull out 1:00 and have that advantage with 10 kilometre to go.


i1348.photobucket.com/albums/p727/TheRider13/PCM0098_zps4bee4968.jpg


Cancellara attacks Waeytens but the Youtube rider gets back on terms. With 8 kilometres to go Waytens does a Cancellara and beats him at his own game by attacking, he would hold him off. ExxonMobil finally start the chase with their 3 'big guns' with 6 kilometres to go creating a gap to the group behind...


i1348.photobucket.com/albums/p727/TheRider13/PCM0099_zpse0036d80.jpg


Waeytens hold on for the victory, what a victory. ExxonMobil, with all their quality, could only manage third place on this stage but they have bigger fish to fry. Neirynck gets 7th leading home a select group of cobblers. A really exciting stage, if Neirynck continues riding like this he may contend for one of the upcoming semi classics.

Race: Harelbeke - Harelbeke 203 KM's


Race Favourites:

***Boom(EML) **Lander(EML) *Puccio(BSC)


This is arguably the biggest race the team has been invited to, in a stark contrast to recent races, we have no big favourite and achieving a decent result will be difficult.


i1348.photobucket.com/albums/p727/TheRider13/PCM0112_zps83bad00f.jpg


It took a long time for a break to establish, when it did it contained 5 riders including our man Izagirre. With 110 kilometres to go former Milan San Remo winner Felline attacked, as did Neirynck, reigning Milan San Remo winner Offredo and Berny Eisel. It didn't take long for them to form a 9 man break.


i1348.photobucket.com/albums/p727/TheRider13/PCM0113_zpsf4a0ed3f.jpg


The 5 strongest cobblers in the race, including our two riders, pulled away at the first cobbled section they encountered together. 4:50 back in the peloton over the same stretch of cobbles world champion Sagan attacked.

He would join up with the 5 outfront to form a strong break. With 20 kilometres to go the remains of the peloton totalled less than 20 riders, the break had 2:30, it was looking good for the break as the teams looked to ExxonMobil to take up the chase.


i1348.photobucket.com/albums/p727/TheRider13/PCM0119_zps0287d6cd.jpg


With 18 kilometres to go, on the last cobbled section, Eisel attacked. It was a good move as the men in the break just looked at each other and were surely suffering. Bu the peloton had now really taken up the chase.

Eisel had 1:10 back to the peloton with 8 kilometres to go and 40 seconds to the break, when the fresher riders out of the peloton came soaring up the road at a insane rate of speed swallowing up the break with 4 kilometres to go. Eisel surely had the stage won.....


i1348.photobucket.com/albums/p727/TheRider13/PCM0122_zps3c45a7fa.jpg


But NOOO. What looked like a sure victory turned into a tragic catch by the other riders inside 100 meters. Incredibly Sagan found a second wind after being caught and was able to sprint for the win, despite being in the break for 90 kilometres, the world champion is something else.

Our team showed really well and I think we got the tactics spot on, Izagirre road really well. Neirycnk finished 15th, I doubt we would have finished that high if he just followed in the peloton given the quality in the front group.

I'm glad you noticed sir. Wink

A team could do a lot with a rider like that.

Where's that Sheik's chequebook? Pfft

Another quality field is present, we have to try and get into a break or hope that Neirynck has good legs.

Early on many riders tried to get into the early moves. Fortunately we had C.S.Long in great spirits and Bakelants, who were very prominent in the early break attempts. But they didn't succeed. It took a good 90 kilometres for the 10 man break to establish, no doubt containing jaded riders after the fast early pace.

With 95 kilometres to go world champion Sagan, Neirynck (who was feeling great today) and Berkhout tried to form a secondary break, but RIM and the peloton weren't having it and they were quickly brought back.

Little happened until thirty riders joined up with the original 10 man break with 40 kilometres to go, we had Neirycnk safely in the front group.

With 20 kilometres to go Sagan dropped back to help Gallopin, who had been dropped, so we had only 14 men out front including our man Neirycnk. But another group of 12 would join up on the flat run-in.

We were looking for the opportunity to attack but it never arose. Finally Puccio attacked with 10 kilometres to go but this was too late and the move was not allowed to get far. It would come down to a sprint with Puccio leading Maes with '2 seconds over the peloton.

Lander went at the right time and takes the win ahead of teammate Boom for ExxonMobil, Sagan was easily the fastest and if he wasn't working for his teammate Gallopin he may well have won. Neirynck does brilliantly to get another top 10, an outstanding result given the company, but if we are to make it to the world tour we really need more consistent higher place finishes.
